Abstract excerpt
The melibiose carrier of Escherichia coli is a transmembrane protein that comprises 12 transmembrane helices connected by periplasmic and cytoplasmic loops, with both the N- and C-termini located on the cytoplasmic side. Our previous studies of second-site revertants suggested proximity between several helices, including helices XI and I. In this study, we constructed six double cysteine mutants, each having one...
